Importance of Hardwork in Network Marketing
I managed to contact about one hundred people in my first few months. Most laughed at me. I actually sponsored one of those hundred, and she quit a week later. After six months, I had only made about $1,500 total.
“But an interesting evolution had taken place right in front of me. I had observed Barbara’s sponsor go from $4,000 a month when I met her, to over $20,000 a month in that same six-month time span. She was a twenty-six-year-old single mother, Lisa, with a journalism degree and a great attitude, who in twenty-two months went from start up to over $60,000 a month. That made her a legend in our company. And I was fortunate enough to witness everything she did first hand to make that money. You know what I learned? She didn’t do anything I couldn’t do. She just worked really hard and had complete confidence in the company, the products, and her ability to make millions. So even though I was very ineffective and had almost zero income, my belief level began to explode. That’s when my business changed forever: when I believed I could duplicate the success of my mentors.
“In the next year, my income went from a little over $1,100 per month to almost $10,000 a month. And today, nobody believes the story of how I began – shy and broke and ready to quit. But it doesn’t matter. Just remember three magic words: ‘Keep watching winners!’ Today we’ve helped so many people quit their jobs and go through the same tremendous personal growth. It would have been so easy to quit network marketing, walk away, and say; ‘Those deals don’t work.’ But I have an attitude in my head that I love: when everybody else gives up, that’s when I really go to work. And I had great role models to help me maintain my positive focus
“Looking back, the sacrifices I made in the beginning were tiny compared to the return on my investment. Besides, how else can someone start a business that’s profitable in a year or two, with little or no debt, and then consistently make a six-figure income working from home! At age twenty, I spent about $1,000 getting a real estate license that I never used. So risking $1,000 on my company was hardly a gamble. I look back at where I’d be if I could have found the capital to purchase that pizza franchise seven years ago. I might just now be finishing paying off my loan, having lived at the store twenty-four hours a day, and I’d weigh 350 pounds from eating pepperoni pizza all day, with no time for exercise. Instead, I travel the world, have peace of mind and zero headaches, and I can be a Professional Dad for the rest of my life.”
